The evolution of global administration

What’s new?

Global administrators can now build phishing templates in any sub-account and make them available in every account they manage. This makes it easier for managed service providers or administrators managing multiple programs to deliver custom training curriculum to every sub-account.

How it works

Step 1: Log into a sub-account from your global dashboard

Step 2: Create a phishing template or edit an existing template

Step 3: Share the template with all sub-accounts

Once shared, global administrators and account administrators can add the phishing template to any PhishSim™ campaign. Account administrators cannot make any changes to the shared phishing template, but can copy and edit templates as needed.

Shared phishing templates are created as single, shared assets. This means when a global administrator edits or deletes a shared template, the update takes place in every sub-account.

What’s up next?

Global administrators will soon have the ability to build and share AwareEd™ campaign notifications, using the same logic as shared courses and phishing templates.
